Paroh

Salt

• 
  
  So we have the soul (Sulfur) and the spirit (Mercury), and finally we come to salt: the crystallization, the manifestation, the vehicle through which the more subtle principles work through. Each principle progressed through various levels of density, with salt being the most dense. It is composed of the Water and Earth elements. Salt in the human is reflected as the physical body, and is thus very, very complex. Infinitely complex. Millions of chemical reactions occurring each second, most of which we know nothing about. The human body is one of the most beautiful mysteries we may ever come to know, a microcosm of the universe. It is the anchor for our soul and spirit, the temple in which they reside.

• Flaws

  Addict

  Vain

  Silver Intolerance
  Paroh cannot touch or handle silver without gloves. If it touches his skin, it burns as bad as acid.
